Third Party Access

Authorizing Access to Data

According to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students in higher education institutions are considered to be adults with exclusive rights over their student records. Students are the only ones who can authorize the release of information from their student records, including their financial records.

Third Party View

Granted by the student, to enable a third party access to the student's financial records, academic records and billing reminders.

Third parties are often family members of the students. Please note that without third party access to a student's account, no information can be disclosed to anyone but the student. This includes parents calling regarding the student's billing account.

The student at any time can modify access privileges.
